Di Giuseppe (undisclosed) is not expected to return to the lineup before the NHL All-Star break, Jeff Paterson of The Hockey News reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Di Giuseppe still hasn't started skating, so this extended timeline shouldn't come as a surprise. Even prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old winger was a frequent healthy scratch, no doubt in part due to his 14-game pointless streak. As such, even once Di Giuseppe is cleared to return, he is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy impact.

EDGE Analysis

Di Giuseppe scored the middle goal of the Canucks' three tallies in the second period. The 30-year-old winger continues to find success on the second line -- he has earned three of his four points this season over the last three games. He's added nine shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-8 rating. Di Giuseppe has never posted more than 17 points in a full season, but he's tracking for a productive year if he remains on a line with J.T.

EDGE Analysis

Di Giuseppe was helped out by Brock Boeser on the goal, which came just 22 seconds into the second period, giving the Canucks a 2-1 lead at the time. He finished with a plus-1 rating, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in 18:26 of ice time. He posted six goals and 12 points in 30 games for the Canucks last season, so his fantasy value remains minimal despite the goal.
